what influences the speed files are recognized as shared?

[JoJoGunne]

hello all
tried putting more files in the shared library. the total number of files is calculated fairly quickly (on the bottom left corner of the window 2 hours ago is said something like "Sharing 0/615 files") but the number of actually shared files increases VERY slowly (i.e. the first number, after 2 hours it now says "Sharing 11/615 files"). Is this too many files? Do I have to allocate more memory? May sneezing twice help?
I am using a G4 sawtooth with MacOS 9.1 and 1 GB of RAM (or thereabouts) and am otherwise well-behaved.
Thanks for your help.

The speed for adding/verifying files is influenced by your CPU speed, Apple's poor Java implementation for MacOS and the low priority the hashing thread has.

ermmm…
might buying a double-processor G5 help?-))

but seriously, thanks for your kind reply, and– as an absolute newcomer, I must say, I am dead impressed by P2P and what these guys have been able to put into being

by the way, I accept this is not about picking free apples in the Garden of Eden and just bought a double-processor G5. Will it give Java a break?

Java kicks on (dual) G5s, at least on my 2x2.
